I’m sharing a photograph of my first “Afternoon Tea and Book Signing” in Juno Beach. I’m the gray haired lady in plaid! Others are representatives of Merrill Lynch. Two “Teas” were held in December and another two are planned for January. The owners of the restaurant, Bentley’s, are former Londoners and know their tea. Everyone is served delicious food, I give a talk about painting (the wall behind us shows a number of my paintings) and writing. We have a Q & A, a book signing, and new friendships are made. This is a different venue for promotion, but so far is quite effective. Public speaking is not my favorite thing to do, but when you have an audience interested in learning more about what you do, the dreaded task becomes one of pleasure.
